I am from England but have lived in the US for over 30 years. Many of those years in NYC and now in the Bay Area. I work for a nonprofit helping purpose-driven young leaders find careers with impact, and my husband works in the online world. I love to hike and garden - we have a very large garden that needs considerable attention. There are dozens of amazing hiking trails just five minutes up the road along Skyline Drive. We enjoy the theater, museums, movies, urban environments and cooking. We have recently become empty-nesters which was hard but are getting used to it!
Living in the Bay Area we are fortunate to be able to escape to beautiful places for a couple of days, such as Yosemite, Sonoma and Tahoe. We love to travel, but we are also very aware that living here is idyllic. You can't beat the weather!
As a host we like to let our guests enjoy total privacy. If they want to ask us for anything we are available, but for the most part we leave our guests alone. We have a lovely deck where guests can hang out and enjoy the view (and the stars).
